Wybie's POV

"Can you see anything, buddy?" I asked the Cat, our eyes scanning the mist covered ground for some banana slugs. It was hard to see through the fog that caked the land, but fortunately I brought my mask along to magnetise through it.

I clamped the pair of metal tongs repeatedly as we searched, echoing throughout the opening of the Pink Palace residence. 

"Hey, check this out!" I whispered to the Cat, showing him a massive, slimy gastropod in between the kitchen tongs. It wasn't a banana slug, but it was still something. I took a picture of the little fella in my hand to show off its size before placing it back where it belonged.

"What do you think the new school is going to be like?"

"Meow."

"Yeah, I heard that it requires uniform as well, for some reason. Sounds like a bunch of ass"

"I wonder if the Jonesy's are coming as well, that would be something. You think they will?"

"Meow."

"Yeah, same here." I replied, my eyes scanned the ground of the complex's grounds. I came across a slimy trail, the goo was tainted a moldy shade of yellow. I felt as if I was getting somewhere, perhaps a banana slug hideout! But that was interrupted when I felt something tap my mask. I lifted it to see what was there, and when I did I felt my heart skip a beat

"Why hello there" she smiled, her (e/c) eyes met mine.

"H-hi! *Cough* what are you doing here?"

"I managed to slip away from Miss Spink and Forcible before they could name every single one of their dogs, current and past. Coraline probably wants to shoot herself now" she giggled, I couldn't help but laugh with her

"And what about you?" She questioned

"Oh, err, we're hunting banana slugs!"

"We?" She asked, confused. The Cat slipped his head out of my coat and (Y/N) grinned, stroking and scratching the Cat's head as he rubbed his head into her palm with some purrs.

"Aaw, look at you, you little kitty! May I please take a picture?" She asked, my head shook quickly

"O-of course! Here, use mine" I insisted as I handed her my camera, she thanked me. The Cat seemed to straighten for the picture and I smiled at the camera as she pressed the button, capturing everything.

I saw heard two clicks and two flashes, followed by a giggle from (y/n). I noticed she took a pic on her phone too. I smiled and she handed the camera back to me, I decided to being up a conversation

"You know, I've never been inside the Pink Palace" 

"So where do you live?" 

"That little house over there, separated from the Palace itself" I pointed behind her, her eyes followed where my index finger pointed

"And how so?" I gulped and gave her a serious but worried gaze

"Gramma'd kill me! She thinks it's dangerous or something" I answered, stroking the Cat who still laid in my coat

"Dangerous?" She repeated, staring at the house with a puzzled stare. 

"Well, she had a twin sister. Key word, had. When they were kids, Gramma's sister disappeared. She says she was stolen" I whispered, looking away from her. She apologized

"Oh shit, that's horrible.. I'm so sorry"  was all she said when we fell into another awkward silence

"Wait, stolen?" She asked, I nodded with a hum

"Well, what do you think?" 

"I don't know, maybe she just ran away" I shrugged, thinking of anymore possibilities as to my Great Aunt's whereabouts

"So.. that doll, did you make it look like me?" My mind stopped at that question, how can I explain? I can't just tell her I found it like that, that's weird. Oh, I know..

"Uh.. yes! I wanted to give you something 'cause you are my friend!" Yes! If I can remember, giving a girl gifts will make her like you! I think. She gave me a warm smile, her pink rosy lips turned upwards as she seemed to glow

"You are very good at making dolls, Wybie"

"T-thanks, Peach" I whispered. Before she could ask what I whispered, we heard the pitter-patter of feet at an alarming speed

"You left me you bitch!" Coraline screamed as she ran at (Y/N), jumping as she caught her. Damn, she is strong!

"Do you really think I wanna listen to two old ladies talk about their dogs? Nah, hard pass. Forcible's tits are massive though, I bet her back hurts a l-"

"You could have at least suffered with me!" She cut off, her eyes landed on me and she folded her arms

"Aw great, Psycho Nerd and his Cat."

"Watch the names, honey" (Y/N) warned, slapping the back of Coraline's head lightly

"My name's are better than yours!" Coraline stomped her foot

"'Psycho Nerd' is better than 'Cum Huffer'? Please, and I meant stop calling him names, you feral hoe"

"Am I hurting your boyfriend's feelings?" Coraline teased, making me blush. (Y/N) was rolling up her sleeves, her cheeks were dusted a light pink

"The only thing that's going to hurt is your face in 3 seconds-"

"Calm down, guys" I budged in, wanting to de-escalate the sister's fued

"Yeah, listen to your boyfr- Ah!" All of sudden, Coraline was lifted above (Y/N)'s head. (Y/N) laughed as Coraline screamed

"Let me down! This isn't fair!" She cried, making me chuckle.

"You going to apologize?"

"Never!"

"Shit (Y/N), you are strong!" I admired her strength, she smiled at me and began to walk in circles

"Thanks, but Coraline weighs like a couple if grapes so it's not really hard" she explained, spinning around slowly with Coraline still above her. 

"I.. think I'm going to be sick!" This made (Y/N) drop her into some grass, muttering an "Ew!

"Oh, are you guys going to Park Hall - that shitty old fashioned school with uniform?"

"Wait, you are too?" Coraline asked, answering my question indirectly. She groaned in dismay while (Y/N) seemed to celebrate

"Fuck yes! I hope we will be in the same classes" (Y/N) pumped her fists in the air

"Yeah, me too. We start on Monday by the way" I informed

"Only one more day to get the uniform? Jeez, we probably can't even afford half of the shit at the moment" Coraline rolled her eyes

"Should've gone shopping earlier for it then" I stated with a small shrug. Before she could come with a rude remark or comeback, we heard a lady in the distance

"Wyborn!" I sighed

"Welp, hopefully I'll see you two tomorrow, oh and check your pocket, (Y/N)" I quickly told her, hoping on my dirt bike and dashing away as fast as I could.

(Y/N)'s POV

"Welp, hopefully I'll see you two tomorrow, oh and check your pocket, (Y/N)" was all he said before he raced back home. I gave Coraline a confused glance and did so, pulling out a small piece of paper with some numbers on it.
